Climate
Climate showcases the temperature changes, current status of national ENSO, rainfall, SSL and coral bleaching. This page also includes jump offs for relevant pages to climate.
Current Vanuatu Climate Status
Coral Bleaching
All country regions will expect No stress on coral bleaching activity in August 2024.
El Nino Southern Oscillation
ENSO Outlook is currently in Neutral. Four climate model suggest the possibility of sea surface temperature reaching La Nina threshold(below -0.8) by October, therefore dial is shifted to La Nina Watch.
Rainfall
Rainfall-Outlook for August until 1st September shows near normal rainfall for Torba and Penama province while Below normal rainfall expected over the rest of the Country.
Sea Surface Temperature
Sea surface temperature is the temperature of the ocean water close to the surface(1mm to 100m below).Above average sea surface temperatures will be expected in August for the whole country.
Sectoral Climate Information Services
Climate Observation Stations
Climate Change Science Services
The Vanuatu Climate Futures Portal is a gateway to climate information services and tools, providing users with the science, mapping, data, videos and other resources to plan their adaptation actions. The Vanuatu Climate Futures Portal was developed by the GCF Vanuatu Klaemet Infomesen blong redy, adapt mo protekt (VanKIRAP) project.
Climate Mapping Tool
This interactive visualization tool allows you to select climate variables, greenhouse gas emissions pathways, time periods and locations to generate customised maps and datasets. You can visualise Area Council and Islands that are of interest to you.
Agriculture Mapping Tool
This interactive tool provides maps of current and future regions climatically suitable and diseases for Kava, Coffee, Cocoa, Taro and Yam using climate information services
Infrastructure Mapping Tool
This interactive visualisation tools allows you to map areas including roads and infrastructure inundation now and in the future (2030, 2050, 2070 and 2090) under various emission pathways
Fisheries Mapping Tool
This interactive visualisation tools allows you to map areas including Fisheries, Mangroves and Protected Areas. Users can also map historical and future marine heat waves
Tourism (Sea Level Rise) Mapping Tool
This interactive tool allows you to visualise sea level rise (current and future) for selected tourism pilot sites: Lonnoc Bamboo Beach, Lonnoc Beach Lodge, Lonnoc Ocean View Bungalows, Lonnoc Eco Beach Bungalows, Towoc Beach Bungalows, Champagne Beach and Towoc Beachfront Bungalows. Users can also visualise 10, 50 and 100 year return interval
Water (Extreme Flooding) Mapping Tool
This interactive mapping tool allows you to visualise extreme flooding areas in Efate (Mele Catchment) and Santo (Sarakata-Luganville Catchment) for 10, 50 and 100 year return intervals for low, medium and high emission scenarios.
